Once a website has been delivered, any new work in the database needs to be copied across from dev sites to staging and live sites somehow. WordPress has basic support for exporting / importing posts, but if you only want to bring taxonomies across, it has nothing. This handy plugin lets you do that. Nice job, and many thanks!
It may not have been updated in a while, but still working very well on WordPress 6.6 in 2024. There are PHP deprecation warnings in PHP 8.3 (and likely 8.2) but they are only warnings.

Had to export Woocommerce categories, this plugin was just the perfect tool. The export format can be used with the default Wordpress importer, so there is no need to install anything on the importer side.
